Former Asante Kotoko defender, Sarfo Gyamfi has backed Maxwell Konadu’s decision to keep faith with second choice shot-stopper Kwame Baah, despite the availability of club captain Felix Annan for selection.
The Black Stars goalkeeper has been unable to recapture the starting position since taking time off to tie the knot with his girlfriend at the beginning of last season campaign.
This has generated a lot of heat among some Kotoko supporters.
Speaking to Angel FM in Kumasi, he said, “I think Maxwell Konadu was right for benching Annan because Kwame Baah was performing in his absence. Everyone knows Felix was the number one goalie for the club and he left for wedding, so on his return he needs to convince the coach why he should be given the position again because Kwame Baah did marvelous then”
“Kwame Baah in Felix absence was doing well; I was monitoring the team while abroad so I think Felix should be the second goalkeeper, that is how football is” he said.
According to reports, Maxwell Konadu will stick to Kwame Baah ahead of the season.
Annan was named captain of the Porcupine Warriors in August last year following the departure of Amos Frimpong.
Baah was Ghana’s first-choice goalkeeper at the U23 Afcon in November last year.
